Elaine Miles portrays Marilyn Whirlwind, Dr.
Joel Fleischman's (Rob Morrow) quietly sage
assistant. Marilyn's consistently calm demeanor accentuates Fleischman's
neurotic behavior. From the moment they meet at Cicely's makeshift medical
office, where Marilyn insists on applying for and accepting a job which
Fleischman claims doesn't exist, the doctor knows he has met his match.
Marilyn leads a quiet life, raising ostriches and falling in love with flying
men.
